Winter Salt Awareness Week, January 27-31
If you read this newsletter even just occasionally, you’ve probably read about the negative impacts of using too much winter salt. It corrodes our infrastructure, it is harmful to aquatic species, and it gets into our drinking water. Chloride levels in the Potomac River have increased 10-fold in the past 80 years. Want to learn more about why this issue and what you can do about it? Join one of the many webinars and events during Winter Salt Awareness Week, January 27-31.
As part of Winter Salt Awareness Week, ICPRB is partnering with Northern Virginia Regional Commission, Izaak Walton League of America, Center for Watershed Protection, and Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council on the following events:
